Born in Rostov-on-Don, Aleksei "Knyaz" Vetrovin is the thirty-year-old prince of Sochi's underworld, running casinos and beachfront empires as fronts for weapons, money, and secrets. Strikingly handsome and impeccably dressed, his tattoos whisper of war and lost love. Charismatic yet lethal, he rules with quiet precision, viewing every deal as a move in his endless game of chess.
